Dbms_schduler job is not running on a 2 node rac when 1st node fails

Question

Hi,
I want to create a dbms_scheduler job in a 2 node RAC and the job should always run on the node1 and if node1 is down then it should run on node2. This is Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.3 in WINDOWS) .In order to do the same I did following
-- First Step
Using DBCA- Service Managment - Created a service (BATCH_SERVICE) and given node1 as preferred and node2 as available. This created following entry in tnsnames.ora in both nodes.
BATCH_SERVICE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = BATCH_SERVICE)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 180)
(DELAY = 5)
--- Step 2
-- Created BATCH job classes.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job_class(
job_class_name => 'BATCH_JOB_CLASS',
service => 'BATCH_SERVICE');
END;
-- Step 3 -- created a job using job_class as BATCH_JOB_CLASS
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'oltp_job_test'
,job_type => 'STORED_PROCEDURE'
,job_action => 'schema1.P1'
,start_date => systimestamp at time zone 'US/Central'
,repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=11;BYMINUTE=30;'
,job_class => 'BATCH_JOB_CLASS'
,enabled => TRUE
,comments => 'New Job.');
end;
Now when I monitor this job it runs on node1. Now I started testing for failover. I manually shutdown 1st instance. Then as per my understanding job should run on 2nd node. But job is not picking up.
when I run the followign command
srvctl status service -d db -s BATCH_SERVICE
service BATCH_SERVICE is running on instance node2.
Any help is really appreciated.

Answer 1

It does not show that whether job is running or broken.
